Sabotage

Linkin Park · Other Songs - Linkin Park

I Can't Stand It I Know You Planned It

But I'm Gonna Set It Straight, This Watergate

I Can't Stand Rocking When I'm In Here

Because Your Crystal Bal Ain't So Crystal Clear

So While You Sit Backand Wonder Why

I Got This Fucking Thorn In My Side

Oh My, It's A Mirage

I'm Tellin' Y'all It's a Sabotage

So Listen Up 'Cause You Can't Say Nothin'

You'll Shut Me Dow With A Push Of Your Button?

But I'm Out And I'm Gone

I'll Tell You Now I Keep It On And On

'Cause What You See You Might Not Get

And We Can Bet So Don't You Get Souped Yet

You're Scheming On A Thing That's A Mirage

I'm Trying To Tell You Now It's Sabotage

Why; Our Backs Are Now Against The Wall

Listen All Of Y'all It's A Sabotage

I Can't Stand It, I Know You Planned It

But I'm Gonna Set It Straight This Watergate

I Can't Stand Rockin' When I'm In This Place

Because I Feel Disgrace Because You're All In My Face

But Make No Mistakes And Switch Up My Channel

I'm Buddy Rich When I Fly Off The Handle

What Could It Be, It's A Miracle

You're Scheming On A Thing; That's Sabotage

Sabotage - Linkin Park

Released in 2002, "Sabotage" stands as a defining track on Linkin Park's debut album, Hybrid Theory. The song exemplifies the band's signature sound, blending aggressive rap-rock with electronic elements and industrial textures. Featuring vocals from Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington, the track explores themes of urban decay and personal frustration, delivered with a driving, percussive rhythm that became a staple of the nu-metal genre. Its production marked a pivotal shift in the band's musical direction, moving away from pure metal influences toward a more polished, alternative rock aesthetic that resonated globally. "Sabotage" remains a critical touchstone for the group's early career, showcasing their ability to merge distinct vocal styles into a cohesive, high-energy anthem that influenced countless subsequent artists in the rock and hip-hop fusion space.
